A very nice list (if I say so myself) ;)

Pretty COOL, OJ. :)

[rosetree]

As a help to newbies, if there are things that are missing from the list, lets continue it here....

It's not completely free, but one of my favorites is riding the street car up and down St. Charles.

[festbabe]

Freebie: catch an in-store performance at Louisiana Music Factory, 210 Decatur Street in the Quarter.

[Orleansnj]

Freebie: catch an in-store at LMF.

EXCELLENT addition to that list.

[rosetree]

Stroll along Magazine street and hop in and out of the antique shops and window shop.

That's #43 ;)

Walk along the Jazz Walk of Fame on the Algiers levee. The tour is available on your cell phone (which I think is pretty cool) :cool:

One I didn't see listed that is not only free but often quite profitable is to follow ME around late at night, picking up the money, assorted "party supplies", random credit cards and hotel room keys that I happen to drop on my nocturnal wanderings.

(seriously, my friends used to tell me that I would actually end up saving $$$ by hiring a hard-working young go-getter to follow me around and pick up the assorted stuff I am sure to drop. I have since become a bit more organized, but after a late night at Tips or Howlin' Wolf, constantly pulling out cash for drinks and cab rides all night, I need to REALLY pay attention to what I am doing)

Ah, the old "party like a Mormon" tour! I've heard good things about that one....

If you can somehow make it down after all this year, (which would certainly be great) maybe I can help you with expenses by putting you on the payroll...........

(Of course with all the Canadian cigarettes I am sure to mooch off of you, it might just be a wash)

what are you willing to pay for adult supervision?

[Blitzzzzz]

"Venture into our "Cities of the Dead" for a self-guided day tour of a unique cemetery, especially St. Louis Cemetery #1, the closest one to the French Quarter (http://www.neworleansonline.com/neworleans/fq/)."

......and have an exciting interaction with friendly locals who will relieve you of you camera and cash!

I have never seen anyone recommend going into these cemeteries without a group. Too close to the bricks and much too confined a space for safety!:cool:

[festivalgirl]

define adult.

[Staxsun]

Also sometimes profitable, predicting what state tourists gots their shoes in.

I heard that Beatle Bob is coming out with a book. 200 Free Things to do in NOLA.
